Herein we describe the advent of a reductive diselenide-selenoester ligation (rDSL) method that enables efficient ligation of peptide fragments down to low nanomolar concentrations, without resorting to solubility tags or hybridizing templates.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
The power of rDSL is highlighted in the efficient synthesis of the FDA-approved therapeutic lipopeptide tesamorelin and palmitylated variants of the transmembrane lipoprotein phospholemman (FXYD1).
In this study, Tesamorelin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Tesamorelin.
